i see 2390 then 2359.. but would rather entering 2475/2506 area w stops above 2509..at 2434 atm.. having problems with mid support for 2390..s at 2430.. maybe enough to get a foothold and ride your 1000 pip wave from a early b.e.. i sell have 1.5 as valid.
Liking some of those upper levels. May regret closing all of what I did there, but needed to get flat so I can get all my tools back. Can't even set po's for now. Need a clean slate for a few hours. Hopefully finish tonight.

Good stuff, Ken; nice trading. I'm still a bit gun shy on EA... got burned twice in the last week or two. I'm waiting for a break of some more EMAs before jumping in. I've been practicing patience a lot more and it's been paying off handsomely. The way I see it, once the EA downtrend confirms itself, we should have a great 1,000 pip trend to ride. No need for me to be rushing in

Have a good weekend, bro.
Plenty of time indeed. Cheers brother.

omg, how did I miss the H4 e/a sell. She moves so beautifully. If it wasn't for that 7 pip spread, i'd move it to one of my main watchers.

Meanwhile, I'm being a jackass and countering fibre Right into resistance to boot. lol. Need to stay off the lower time frames...

Had tried meddling a couple days ago, but couldn't the way I wanted to because of my fresh installs. Had to get flat before I can finish configuring everything. Definitely more profitable this way.

-Gold kept it afloat until EA and EU finally turned.
-Was -3% at its worst...not bad r/r in the end.
-several partials had come out of EA positions last week...pre-computer shenanigans.
-swaps pretty much covered the two small red positions (add partials that came out...no...

Was taking forever, Ascending triangles always do... although, it was a bit wonkey looking. I filled at 2942... a few hours ago it seems like. Not much to write home too, am just going to set to BE and see where she ends up. Ideally I would like a retest of 3020 min, where I want to sell from again.

Of course, the H4 demand zone we just bounced from, is one that would have truly reversed our direction. Instead of shorts being the counter, they would be the with-trend move. Maybe more up is in our future... I hate this. Daily trend up, Weekly trend down. Will be nice to align those two again.
